Yeah But No Yeah

By Hilde Elbers

'Dealing with borders is perhaps the great issue of our time,' argued Paul Scheffer in the essay he wrote for philosophy month. 'And how does that feel in its most personal and physical form?' wondered Hilde Elbers.

Together with dancer Judit Ruiz Onandi, Hilde takes up the challenge in an oceanic duet to find out how we can preserve ourselves and flow together at the same time, how we can disappear into form and shapelessness and grow into it together. How far can we move with each other? How fluid can you be as human beings? In doing so, Hilde links the act of setting boundaries to the naturalness of breathing. Something you continue to do unconsciously. Out of self-preservation.
